Alhamdulillah, alhamudilllah. Astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah al-Azim wa atubu ilaih. Allah subhana wa ta’ala is
saying, `If you are doing any good in this world, it is for you. If
you are doing any bad, it is for you again.’ Whatever you do. Whatever
man does, the result, the reward or the heaviness or punishment or
pain or suffering is for you. Nobody else. Holy Prophet (sws) is
saying, `Send your Riziq before you go. Send it to Akhirat before you
go out from this world.’ You are going to need it there. And whatever
you are going to send, that’s what you are going to find.

This ayat and that hadith is showing to us that `Yes, if you are doing
good deeds the reward is written in your book on the other side and
that’s what you will find.’ If you are doing bad deeds, pain,
suffering and punishment is in your book on the other side. That’s
what you are going to find. Not to expect anything else. According to
the way you live, what you do and why you do it. You are doing
something, but why you are doing it, what’s the intention? Are you
thinking that `Yes, this is for the sake of Allah. That’s what I am
doing’. If that is then it has to be a good work. Man cannot do a bad
work for the sake of Allah. Man cannot run around to make confusion
for the sake of Allah. Impossible. It is forbidden. It is banned.
Allah is saying to us, `We have created you in Ahsani Taqweem. We have
created you as the most perfect creatures and We are expecting only
good from you. But if you are following that Sheytan and only doing
bad then that’s where you are going.’

And he is still insisting. He came out from Paradise. First you have
to know your enemy. Who’s the enemy? Sheytan was living in Paradise.
He was like the king of Paradise. He had the power in Paradise. He had
the knowledge in Paradise. He had everything. He became disobedient to
Allah. Allah gave warning to him, `Leave the disobedience. Make
Sejdah. I am the Creator, not you. You are under the authority and
order to obey My orders. Make Sejdah. Don’t look at `This one is that
one, this one is higher or this one is lower’. It’s not for you to
decide. It’s for Me to decide. And I decide that you are going to make
Sejdah to this one. Make Sejdah.’ Insisted arrogantly and stubbornly
saying, `No, I’m not making Sejdah.’

`Make Sejdah before I kick you out from here. I have all the power in
My hand. You have nothing. Make the Sejdah.’

He says, `No.’ Still insisting.

And Allah is saying to him, `Get lost from here.’ Saying to angels,
`Kick him out from Paradise.’

So he was coming out from the most beautiful place and he was losing
every beauty that was given to him. He turned into a very ugly looking
creature. He was one of the most beautiful appearance creatures in the
Paradise. He turned into the worst ugly creature. He has been sent
down to earth and still insisting on that wrong thing. And preparing
something for himself in the hereafter too. Because that’s what he is
going to find. Whatever he has prepared that’s what he is going to
find because Allah is saying, `Every Nafs that We created, that one
also, whatever you do good that’s what you are going to find, whatever
you send bad that’s what you are going to find. So prepare yourself.’

Holy Prophet (sws) is saying, `Oh Children of Adam, prepare
yourselves. Prepare yourselves for what is coming ahead, what is in
front of you because tomorrow in the Judgment Day Allah subhana wa
ta’ala will take you in His Presence and He will question you, `Didn’t
you have my prophets coming and giving you the messages?’ And you will
know. You cannot lie and you cannot hide. And you look left, you look
right, you see emptiness. You look left and you see emptiness. You
look in front of you and you only see Jahannam in front of you then.
Nothing else.’ That is for those who are insisting in this world
running to do wrong things and insisting on those wrong things.

So the Holy Prophet (sws) is worrying for us and saying to us, `Oh my
nation, even if it is with one date, save yourself from that hellfire.
Even by giving one date to somebody, save yourself from the hellfire.
Be generous servants, be generous ones to your Lord. When you are
being generous, Allah likes it and Allah’s help will reach to you one
day even if you are in the wrong areas.’

So this is for us because we are still in this world. We didn’t close
our page yet. The spirit is still in our body. The book is open, time
is clicking, life is going. Look what you passed your life with
yesterday. Did you live for Allah’s sake. If you did, if you are
saying, `Yes, I did for Allah’s sake’ then look at what you did, what
you said, what you spoke, where you went, why you went, why you said,
was it good that you said or was it bad that you said, whatever you
did, check it out and you will find by yourself, you don’t need any
accountant. There will be accounters there too. The angels are
writing, keeping notes, not only the notes but they are keeping the
videos, non-stop, twenty-four hours action, they are keeping everything.

But the children of Adam are heedless. They are not aware of it. They
are falling into that heedlessness and Sheytan is sitting on their
neck and they are not waking up to say, `What am I doing?’ And so many
are coming to make Sejdah but Sheytan is still sitting on their necks.
Heedlessly, they are doing everything heedlessly. And heedlessness is
not accepted. Ghaflat is not accepted. When man is in ghaflat there’s
a big possibility that he may lose his faith in the last breath.

So alhamdulillah, we have passed the Ramazan and now we are
approaching the Kurban. Do good deeds. Run to do good deeds. Don’t
look at what others do. Look at what you do. Look at what is for you.
Look at what Allah subhana wa ta’ala puts for you everyday. Run to do
that. Not to think, `I am this one or I am that one’. Everyday your
identity comes with what you are doing, what is in front of you and
how you are treating what Allah subhana wa ta’ala has prepared for
you. What he has prepared for you, if you treat it properly then you
will be the winner. If you are not treating it properly then you are
going to be the loser.
